Brief Description:  Canard tips

Sanded top profile of both tips to match Canard aerofoil, minus a bit. Cleaned up micro. Then decided to do something else for a bit and assess what the tips look like.

Cut CS-10 spacers from 6lb foam.

Cut UNI for top glass, using reject from elevators, so at 30 degrees.

Roughly sanded bottom profile of tip to match Canard, marked a 1" straight section, then cut off at 57 degrees, at a bit of a bevel outwards from the LE, then blended it to a flat TE. Still looks a bit horrible, and I've ended up with more Canard span than plans, which I'm not comfortable with, with my original length Canard. Will spend a day or two looking at it and considering. Bit short of time this week due CFA jobs, honey-do's and work.
